Travel Safe – Literally!

We always wish you all dear travel bugs
a very happy and safe traveling. Indeed, traveling is about
adventure, getting a little lost, finding new places – new people,
a new self. But all these delightful facets need not come at the cost
of your safety.

Whether you are a lone traveler or a
family/group adventurer, there are least chances but still strong
probability of encountering an unscheduled and undesired incident. We
cannot always avoid it, especially if the issue came out of nowhere.
Postponed or deterred holiday plans may be re-planned; closed
theaters and last moment cancellations also mostly have a way out.
But not those scenarios that have a nature of emergency!

While in a foreign land, in a highly
unlikely event, if you witness an incident which must receive a
professional support immediately such as fire, robbery or accident,
where would you head out to for help? Language, cultures, tradition,
technologies – there are limitations and restrictions of a new
place. So besides planning a schedule for your holiday, you should
also search for and make a note of all the emergency numbers used in
the country you are stepping into. As a measure for your convenience
and safety, here we have compiled a list of emergency numbers of a
few countries:

Often times, one plans to travel to a
certain place but the trip takes him to a different one – and no
matter how beautiful, motivational & philosophical a thought it
may seem to be, we do not wish an uncalled for literal ramification
on any traveler. Incidents may not always be avoidable but it is
better to be ready and prepared.
